Ben Carson (Retired Neurosurgeon) Not Convinced on Global WarmingBen Carson is a man of science. That doesn't necessarily mean that he believes in global warming.

"There's always going to be either cooling or warming going on," the potential 2016 Republican presidential candidate said in an interview this weekend in Des Moines, Iowa. "As far as I'm concerned, that's irrelevant. What is relevant is that we have an obligation and a responsibility to protect our environment."

Carson, a retired Johns Hopkins neurosurgeon, often talks about his medical background and science during his speeches. Pressed on the fact that the bulk of the scientific community believes the Earth is indeed warming, Carson pivoted. "You can ask it several different ways, but my answer is going to be the same," he said. "We may be warming. We may be cooling."

For a "smart guy" ... Ben certainly says a lot of dumb stuff.

But remember -- like most Con politicians, he's not a scientist. ;)

Of course, any black who doesn't think the way the Democrat plantation tells him is an Uncle Tom. I'm not fan of Carson or the right, but Gtfo with that not so subtle racism.

Dr. Carson and Dr. Paul Skin Color has nothing to do with whether they believe in Science or not. :smiley_ROFLMAO:

since I'm gonna make everyone mad...could someone explain why we need to elect another unqualified person as president? I realize this is repub proof that they like black people too, but what makes him qualified to run this nation? If I wanted someone to operate on my brain, he would be a great choice...

Pretty much none of our leaders have the integrity or intellect to run the country, so what you're asking for would be a deviance from the norm.

They post these things to mock people because they have no ideas that work. It keeps them from the realities of this inexperienced President and his lab of broken theories. Theories that labrats operate by and that are void of the real world.

Here is a list for you that isn't mocking:

Ben Carson says womens' lib caused Ferguson...
Conservative activist Ben Carson was a guest on America Family Radio’s “Today’s Issues” last week, where he expounded on his previous comments that young African American men like Michael Brown are getting killed by the police because they “never really learn how to relate to authority in the proper way.” “Certainly in a lot of our inner cities, in particular the black inner cities, where 73 percent of the young people are born out of wedlock, the majority of them have no father figure in their life. Usually the father figure is where you learn how to respond to authority. So now you become a teenager, you’re out there, you really have no idea how to respond to authority, you eventually run into the police or you run into somebody else in the neighborhood who also doesn’t know how to respond but is badder than you are, and you get killed or you end up in the penal system,” Carson said. “If the so-called leaders were really interested in the community, they would be trying to deal with that problem, because that’s happening every single day,” he added. When host Lauren Kitchen Stewards broke in to tie his remarks to young people’s “sense of entitlement,” Carson traced it all back to the women’s liberation movement. “I think a lot of it really got started in the '60s with the ‘me generation.’ ‘What’s in it for me?’ I hate to say it, but a lot of it had to do with the women’s lib movement. You know, ‘I’ve been taking care of my family, I’ve been doing that, what about me?’ You know, it really should be about us,” he said.
